For the first time since 2013, the Bears may once again play a majority of minutes with three guards. The lineup gives Baylor a better three point offense, a quicker defense, and a chance to keep its big men on the court while playing an aggressive defense.
The Bears expected staring lineup will feature Manu Lecomte at point guard, Al Freeman at shooting guard, Ish Wainright at the three or the four, and Johnathan Motley at the four or the five. The last spot is less clear entering the season.
Baylor’s small ball lineups revolve around playing Ish Wainright at the four.
